Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 box (10.5 oz) Christmas Tree cakes (about 8 cakes)
- Optional: 1/4 cup sprinkles or holiday jimmies
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese and butter by leaving them at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving for 10-15 seconds.
- Crumble the Christmas Tree cakes (including the creme filling) into small pieces, reserving about a quarter for topping.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
- Fold in the crumbled Christmas Tree cakes (except the reserved portion) with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and spread evenly. Top with the reserved crumbled cakes and optional sprinkles.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
For best texture, use full-fat block cream cheese and let it soften properly. Do not overmix the cakes to retain texture. The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
